I'm working with a super nice family right now, trying to find them their first home. They are looking at townhomes in the south of Calgary. This question came up yesterday:
What happens if another owner in the complex isn't paying their condo fees? Does it affect the other owners?
Here's the answer, which I pulled off the website of highly-respected Calgary real estate law firm Kahane Law (www.kahanelaw.com) that answers this question.
The condo corporation can do a number of things to collect what you owe, such as:
Also, if you owe money to your condo corporation for 30 days or more, you can lose your right to vote on important matters that impact the condo building, the Kahane Law blog post says.
Any real estate questions you want answered call, text or email me and I'll find out.
